VIDEO: Lakers' Nick Perkins Angrily Rips off Mitchell Robinson's Headband and Throws it at Him
By Brendan Azoff
The Lakers fell to the Knicks in the Las Vegas Summer League on Wednesday night by a final score of 117-96. As much as the loss sucked, perhaps nobody's tension was higher than Nick Perkins. During the action, watch as he ripped off Mitchell Robinson's headband and then tossed it back at him.

First off, kudos to Mitchell Robinson, who we can tell was obviously working hard all game based on the absurd amount of sweat that sprayed from the headband when it was tossed in his direction.
Perkins was ejected for this incident, and despite how well some of the Knicks young stars played in this game, all people are talking about today is, "Did you see what Nick Perkins did?"

It is not often Knicks fans have a player which they are willing to watch and root for (in recent years), but Robinson has turned out to be a second-round gem who fans love. So if Nick Perkins ever finds himself playing the Knicks at MSG, he should expect boos to rain down on him.
